      By Hay, Elizabeth, 1951-
       c2011., Adult, McClelland & Stewart Call No: Fic Hay    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "In a small prairie school in 1929, Connie Flood helps a backward student, Michael Graves, learn how to read. Observing them and darkening their lives is the principal, Parley Burns, whose strange behaviour culminates in an attack so disturbing its repercussions continue to the present day. Connie's niece, Anne, tells the story. Impelled by curiosity about her dynamic, adventurous aunt and her more conventional mother, she revisits Connie's past and her mother's broken childhood. In the process, she unravels the enigma of Parley Burns and the mysterious (and unrelated) deaths of two young girls. As the novel moves deeper into their lives, the triangle of principal, teacher, student opens out into other emotional triangles <U+2013> aunt, niece, lover; mother, daughter, granddaughter <U+2013> until a sudden, capsizing love thrusts Anne herself into a newly independent life. This spellbinding tale <U+2013> set in Saskatchewan and the Ottawa Valley <U+2013> crosses generations and cuts to the bone. It probes the roots of obsessive love and hate, how the hurts and desires of childhood persist and are passed on as if in the blood. It lays bare the urgency of discovering what we were never told about the past. And it celebrates the process of becoming who we are in a world full of startling connections that lie just out of sight."--Inside jacket flap.

      By Fallis, Terry
       c2010., Adult, Emblem Call No: Fic Fal    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "Get ready for the most exciting local race ever to hit a Canadian federal election! In one lane we have the incumbent Angus McLintock, the crusty old engineering Prof. who won the seat by a fluke and who has since shaken up Ottawa politics with his outspoken integrity. Lined up against him is "Flamethrower" Fox, the Conservative who practically invented low-road politics, and two others. And along for the ride - reluctantly - is Angus's Executive Assistant, Daniel Addison. For Daniel (supported by the lovely Lindsay) the campaign involves triumphs, disasters, home-baked cookie missiles, canvassing by hovercraft, and a thrilling election that catches the world's attention. It even brings the visiting U.S. President and First Lady to Angus's riverside door. All this - and chess, and love, and sub-zero male nudity - not to mention a collapsing bridge that shakes government and puts Angus in the spotlight. Hold on for the ride!"--Back cover.

      By Mazigh, Monia
       2011., Adult, Éditions L'Interligne Call No: QWF FR Fic Maz    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: Il y a des romans dont la fibre même, ou l'écriture, est une clé magique qui ouvre comme un sésame sur un monde de mystères qui font peur et que l'on n'ose pas approcher parce que les vérités qu'ils recèlent sont invisibles à cause de nos préjugés de Nord-Américains. Je parle ici du roman de Monia Mazigh qui met en scène des femmes immigrantes venues d'Afrique du Nord, du Moyen-Orient et d'Asie avec leur culture, leurs espoirs, leurs différences et surtout leur religion musulmane. Ce sont des mères gardiennes des us et coutumes, maîtresses des secrets de l'Orient qui souhaitent pour leurs filles une émancipation dans le respect des valeurs de l'islam, mais en faisant aussi leurs, la modernité de l'Occident et toutes ses opportunités de bonheur. Ce sont des filles qui étudient à l'Université, spontanées, ouvertes d'esprit, qui se questionnent sur la façon de vivre leur foi dans cet Ottawa des tentations. De prime abord, les relations sont tendues entre les générations, la sacrifiée qui vit par procuration et la dépositaire d'un héritage fait de croyances et de découvertes qui remet tout en question. Il est difficile pour ces femmes de s'adapter, mais elles trouvent des complices et des amies. Leur vie leur semble alors moins cloisonnée et la lumière naît de ces échanges. Leurs destinées s'entrecroisent multipliant à l'infini les facettes de l'immigrante musulmane. Elle n'est plus seulement un voile, un niqab ou un accent qui chante, mais elle devient, sous la plume d'expérience de Monia Mazigh, un être humain doué de sensibilité et de majesté.

      By Fradkin, Barbara Fraser, 1947-  OverDrive, Inc
       2002., General, Dundurn Edition: eBook ed.    Series Title: Inspector Green   Volume: 2Summary Note: Some wounds will never be healed... When an old man dies a seemingly natural death in a parking lot, only Inspector Michael Green finds it suspicious. Something about the closed case has caught his eye - why did the victim have a mysterious gash on his head, inflicted around the time of his death? Talking to the man's family only increases Green's curiosity. They are obviously hiding something about the old man, who lived in isolation as though avoiding painful memories. A search of his house turns up an old tool box with a hidden compartment containing a German ID card from World War II. Was the victim a Jewish camp survivor or a Nazi soldier trying to escape imprisonment? Or had he been a Polish collaborator who had sold his own people into slavery and death? Could someone have tracked him down for revenge? Even Green, with all his experience, could never have imagined the truth. The sequel to Do or Die is not only a tightly plotted police mystery, but a compelling tale of unhealed emotional wounds from a time of unspeakable atrocity.
